Tin Star, the prequel to Stone in the Sky, is a pretty decent sci-fi YA book with the target audience of new sci-fi readers. The world is intriguing enough yet the amount of sci-fi elements including the aliens is slightly slacking. We also find the writing to be flat, as previously discussed here.
Stone in the Sky follows the tale of Tula Bane as she continues to do her best to survive in the space station that she has landed herself on in the first book. After slowly establishing her own place in the social world, Tula finds herself in hot water once again when her archenemy Brother Blue comes to destroy her hard work. As a result, she has to leave the space station and those she loves behind to develop a new strategy while struggling to survive all over again.
The writing style of Cecil Castellucci really bothers me a lot in Tin Star and the similar problem also dwells in this sequel. Most sentences lack the emotional attachment that one longs for in a book and they often have a flat tone. However, while the writing in the first book causes one's mind to drift away easily, perhaps due to the slow pace of the plot, it works just fine in Stone in the Sky. As the world has already been developed decently in the first one, Castellucci is able to focus more on the plot development and thus the fast-paced nature of the plot makes it easier to be engaged.
The aspect of trading and bartering that I absolutely adore in the first book can also be found in Stone in the Sky and I am glad that Cecil Castellucci has toned slightly down on it so as to not overdo it. The political world of the aliens that I also come to love in Tin Star is explored in greater detail here and it is highly intriguing. Instead of further developing the characteristics of the aliens, the author has focused on developing the social structure of the aliens. Personally, this works in my favour as I prefer to read about the intriguing fictional world than about aliens.
One thing that is slightly bothering is the romance in Stone in the Sky. While the romance per se has been developed nicely, meaning that it is not instant romance or without chemistry, it is disturbing in the sense that Tula is actively engaged with both her lovers. She plays on alien's lack of jealousy and continues to hang on to both on them without any bit of remorse.
In conclusion, while Stone in the Sky may still not be able to fully satisfy the wants of readers who often read sci-fi and long for high levels of aliens, it is already better than Tin Star in terms of plot. The plot is very satisfying and the world-building is also very strong and thus together, they make a pretty nice book.

Please add support for SoftwareSerial or any other hardware serial ports other than the default. This is not only useful for the UNO but also for the ESP8266 boards which only have 1 serial port.
Hell just add any support from this site anything!
the only and the best support is : "read itead set instructions..."
and we will more clever :P
many examples is full of errors..
excellent hardware, very poor support; too bad....
there is already software serial support available for the nextion
i modified the library so it works on any gpio and on the esp8266
@Martijn: not in the official ITEAD library, or did you fork the lib?
its the official one with a slight modification
send me a email if you need it
@ Martijn: I am also looking for a ITEAD library with software serial support with Arduino Nano since I already have the standard pins in use. How can I contact you or could you send a link to your library version?
best regards
I Atached it to the topic let me know if you need an example on how to use it because the examples included are the original Nextion ones
I have added software serial support in Nextion library for ESP8266.
@Waqas Ahmed
I am reviewing your link, I will have a decision in a moment
@Waqas Ahmed
Offsite link removed.
@Waqas Ahmed
If you would like to post a Tutorial in a new Free Chat thread dedicated to this
- where all required resources are posted in that thread
- where it is not a 32 minute You-Tube Video - perhaps in smaller sequenced .mp4
(too many users have no Google Access, Nextion is global)
- where it is not part of commercial shopping
- where each resource is explained in text and picture(s)
- Tutorial HMI and ino should be paired
I would then consider such to link to a new ESP/Nextion Tutorials category
But not
- buried in older threads,
- with external link to commercial shopping
- unrelated except for common MCU
And less so where Topics discussed in thread is already more advanced than Tutorial
ie: Weather Station with PIR sensors, vs two image 4 button cropping
Content needs to be more Nextion related, and less how to use ESP MCU.

Q & A With Velocity Newbs
We have some great new employees to the Velocity team and we want you to meet them!! What better way to get to know someone than to put them on the spot and have them answer a series of random questions that have nothing to do with anything? Yea, we though so too.
Are you more of a hunter or a gatherer?
S: I gather groceries…?
K: I gather hunters and then kick back
H: If I had to define myself by these terms, I would call myself a gatherer. I always compare a "gatherer" type individual as one who has a very motherly type disposition. I'm also a lover not a fighter if you wanted to know!
You're a new addition to the crayon box. What color would you be and why?
S: Turquoise – it's the color of mermaids and everyone loves mermaids. (Ariel was my favorite princess)
K: I can't tell, I'm colorblind. *He actually is. It's hilarious.*
H: If I were a new addition to the crayon box, then I would be the color periwinkle. It's the perfect mixture of blue and purple (two of my favorite colors), yet is beautiful, calming, and peaceful. Periwinkle is the color of one of my favorite flowers, the hydrangea.
What do you think about when you're alone in your car?
S: How awesome I am singing whatever song is playing and why am I not famous yet?!
K: Can anyone see me singing along looking like an idiot?
H: While I'm driving in my car, I'm usually thinking about what I need to do once I get to my destination or my schedule for the day. It depends on where I am driving, if I'm in bad traffic I'm usually praying that nobody side swipes/ rear-ends me or wishing that I had taken a detour.
What's your favorite '90s jam?
S: "Wannabe" – Spice Girls
K: Space Jam
H: My favorite 90s jam would have to be "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion. I vividly remember watching Titanic for the umpteenth time and singing along to this song with my sister, we even made up a dance to go with it! Anytime it would come on the radio, we let out one of those "squeals!"
If you could be any animal in the world, what animal would you be and why?
S: A dog, because they get free food and they can sleep all day *GOALS*
K: My spirit animal is an eagle, but I've always felt more like a jungle cat
H: If I could be any animal in the world, I would be a lioness. Protective of her cubs and full of strength, wisdom and tenacity; many people of the world don't have these qualities.
What was the last gift you gave someone?
S: A candle from Fleurty Girl
K: My dad turned 63 so I got him a nice fanny pack
H: The last gift I gave someone was to my little sister Mary Edna, who just turned 17. I gave her a 3-month subscription to IPSY, a monthly"bag" full of fantastic make-up samples. If you're a female who loves makeup and beauty products, you're missing out if you don't already have it!
What were you like in high school?
S: I was one of the smart, honors class kids but I had a lot of friends. I hung out with all different types but had a core group of best friends. I was also on Dance Team and voted "Wittiest" in my senior class.
K: Long hair, tight pants
H: I was very social, an athlete, on the student council and the dance line. I was the girl who always dated older guys who were out of high school, which I think made the boys my age a little intimidated. Is that the right word? Lol, I guess I will find out the answer to that soon, as my 10-year reunion is coming up this year.
What's the last thing you watched on TV and why did you choose to watch it?
S: On Netflix: Fat, Sick, & Nearly Dead. It's about how terrible Americans eat and the obesity epidemic in the US. I'm hoping it scares me aware from eating all the chicken McNuggets.
K: Kill Bill, because I've seen like 6 movies ever and I gotta get the classics out of the way.
H: The last thing I watched on TV was the morning news on WDSU (NBC) when I was getting ready to work. I watch it every morning, but this morning in particular I was keeping an eye out for any updates on the police shooting in Baton Rouge that killed three police officers.
Any advice for your previous boss?
S: Not really
K: Try harder dammit
H: Show your employees that you appreciate them. If an employee goes above and beyond and excels within your company, acknowledge it and give him/her a raise. Don't string your employees along for years while purchasing matching Porsches and taking trips around the world. If they come to you with something, don't ignore it. It may have taken a lot of guts for them to walk into your office. Don't let your anger manifest until you blow up in the office. It is unprofessional and it creates a toxic workplace. Do not play favorites with your employees, they all deserve to treated equally based on their work and merit.
Tell me something about your last job, other than money, that would have inspired you to keep working there.
S: Bring your dog to work day!
K: I was serving tables and I genuinely like people, so being able to have conversations for money is cool, I can work with that.
H: If management would have been better, the commute not so long, and the workplace more pleasant, then I may have been inspired to stay.
What is the funniest thing that has happened to you recently?
S: Getting pooped on by the birds at the Bulldog
K: I ran over some kids playing Pokemon Go in the street… and stole their Pokemon, nerds.
H: I had to explain to my step-son that our dog Clotile is not a horse and why she cannot be ridden as one!
What do you want to be when you grow up?
S: Successful & Happy
K: I haven't thought that far, I'm still working on the growing up part.
H: The best mother I can be.
What's your favorite word?
S: Weenus.
K: Humuhumunukunukuapuaa.
H: Perfect.
What would your theme song be if one played every time you walked into a room?
S: "Get It Ready" – DJ Jubilee
H: "Rise" by Katy Perry
What's your personal motto?
S: Karma's a bitch.
K: I'll try anything once.
H: Don't fear the future, run at it with open arms and a full wallet.
Who is your personal hero?
S: I don't have one.
K: on a serious note, that would be my father
H: I would consider my mother to be my personal hero. She is the strongest, most resilient woman that I know. Not only has she raised 7 amazing kids all while being a working mother, she has encouraged and pushed each of us to peruse our dreams, instilling in us that anything is possible as long as we put 100% into everything we do.
LOVE, MARRY, KILL: Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Satan.
S: TBH: they're all terrible and don't deserve my time or attention
K: love satan, never marry, kill myself
H: KILL, KILL, KILL. I despise them all!

OK, I hope this is in the correct area. Many, many years ago I briefly played with MSTS. I continued to occasionally visit this site from time to time. I would like to get back into Train Sims, but in a very specific way. I am only interested in Union Pacific routes and only during the Big Boy era. To that extant, I would like some advice on how to go about this. I would only be interested in MSTS (I have a legit copy) or Open Rails. I am not interested in other sims as my income is extremely limited.
So, what would you suggest I do? What would I need to begin setting this up? Can I set up only UP areas in the above two sims? What tools would I need?
Thank you one and all for any help you could give to get me started!

|Far North
|You are here: FishPal > Scotland > Border Esk > All Water Ticket > Home Page
Buccleuch Sporting Limited manage some 20 miles of the best seatrout fishing in the South of Scotland, the Esk & Liddle are well known for their run of sea trout, and for the salmon run during the second half of the season.
The All Water Ticket gives access to all four permit beats on the Border Esk and Liddle.
Thses are the Canonbie, Langholm, Newcastleton and Lower Liddle beats.
The beats on the Esk form much of the middle section of the system whilst on the Liddle the two beats are in the middle and lower sections.
Both the Esk and Liddle flow through picturesque countryside typical of the Border area and much of the bankside is wooded with indigenous hardwoods.
The rivers are generally fast flowing and with beds of rock outcrop or pebble shingle with no natural weed growth.
The Esk may be regarded as "gin clear" except during periods of high water. The Liddle, except during periods of fairly low levels, often carries peat stain, although this does not have a detrimental effect upon fish taking.
The Salmon season opens on April 1st and continues until 31st October. Spring runs of fish, in common with many other rivers, have sadly declined and only odd fish enter the system during the February/May period.
However, given good river levels from Iate June or thereabouts, fish start to run into the lower beats such as Canonbie and Lower Liddle.
Late July usually heralds the arrival of the summer run and, if conditions remain suitable, will continue until they merge with the main autumn runs around mid September, which generally increase until the season closes.
Both rivers produce fish weighing well into the teens of pounds and twenty pounders plus are taken every season.
The Sea Trout season commences on the 1st April and continues until 30th September, given good running conditions, fish in the 4 - 7lb class are usually present on the opening day.
A gradual increase in numbers continues until early August or later in some seasons. The average weight of the main runs is usually 1 -2 lbs with a few larger specimens up to 10lbs.
Tickets can be purchased locally from:
Canonbie Post Office (half day closing Wednesday and Saturday) - 01387 371201
Stevenson & Johnstone, 28 High Street, Langholm - 01387 380248 (office hours)

Our Programs
IPPI offers young professionals a range of fellowship programs at the main junctions of policy-making in Israel and Europe
The IPPI offers young professionals an opportunity to complete a fellowship program at the main junctions of policy-making in Israeli and European institutions. The latter include parliaments, government ministries, research institutions and NGOs dealing with a variety of policy issues ranging from democratic participation, international security, gender politics and environmental sustainability to startups and tech-innovation.
During the program, the fellows are mentored by leading policy experts and gather professional experience in their areas of expertise from within a local setting. In the framework of the fellowship, participants will be required to complete the writing of a policy paper relating to their respective field of expertise. In addition to the fellowship program, the fellows will be offered an opportunity to take language courses and meet with officials, policymakers, journalists, activists and other public policy thought leaders.
The IPPI Fellowship is dedicated also to young non-Jewish policy professionals that are interested in the promotion of the professional dialog between Europe and Israel on public policy matters. The IPPI program provides Fellows with hands-on work experience while tackling common societal questions in Israel and Europe today in order to foster joint perspectives for the future.
Our Programs in Israel
Rethinking Security in the 21st Century
Ecology and Sustainable Development
Tech Innovation in Europe & Israel
Hendrik Schopmans
"The IPPI Fellowship has enabled me to pursue my own policy research while gaining valuable, hands-on professional experience in two very different organizations.
"After graduating from my Master's program at Oxford, where I conducted research on ocean governance, I was looking for an opportunity to continue working in the field, but from within a policy oriented "hands-on" setting.
The IPPI Fellowship "Ecology & Sustainable Development" was a perfect fit in this respect. On the one hand, the Fellowship includes the composition of a policy paper on an environmental challenge common to both Germany and Israel, where I had the opportunity to conduct comparative research on the policies both countries have implemented in order to balance their economic interests in the maritime sphere with the protection of the maritime environment.
At the same time, I was able to gain substantive work experience in two fundamentally different professional environments: The Heinrich Böll Foundation and the Israeli Ministry of Environmental Protection. In both cases I quickly felt like I was part of the team, as there was no long warm-up period and I was immediately assigned responsibility for different projects.
What I appreciated most was the flexibility of the people I worked with, as they were keen to involve me in projects that were of specific interest for me. For example, the Ministry offered me to support them in a project that directly related to my own research - the preparation of the Israeli delegation to the UN World Ocean Conference in New York.
Conducting research on Israel's policies on marine protection in this context helped me to acquire profound knowledge of the relevant actors, institutions and policies in the field, which I could directly utilize for my own research.
In addition, working at the Heinrich Böll Foundation was a great way to get exposed to policy areas that go beyond my individual research and providing me with an opportunity to obtain a better understanding the complex political situation in Israel. By writing monthly analyses and articles on current political developments, I quickly got a sense of the major debates in the country.
Overall, I believe that the IPPI Fellowship constitutes a great opportunity for young professionals who want to gain substantive professional experience in a policy-oriented environment and simultaneously pursue in-depth research in their field of expertise."
The Israel Public Policy Institute (IPPI) is an independent non-partisan Think-and-Do Tank that strives to strengthen the personal and professional connections between young professionals and policy leaders from Israel, Europe and the United States.

The subtle wood grains and suggestive lines of the Runway Mule Chest creates a pleasant sensation of static movement that instantly enlivens any room. The top and frame are veneer-wrapped over edges with a membrane press allowing the character of the veneer pattern to continue over the edgework like a waterfall. Veneer lay ups are bold and expressive using rich primavera as the primary veneer. Zebrano is used in addition as an accent border on door frames bringing further attention to the case fronts. The primavera is patterned in reverse diamond patterns on the drawer fronts. The legs are softly coved or scooped with rolled edges on all four sides and then tapered to the floor.

The Challenge
The modern retailer often must craft strategies that embrace both physical and digital environments. Those strategies require an understanding of not only the different channels customers use to make purchases, but also how and where they consume information in advance of those purchases. The growing range of channels, coupled with consumers' increasing power, has complicated the buying journey.
Similarly, CPG companies must find ways to better understand customers with whom they do not interact directly, since the sale involves retailers and other distributors who control the customer interaction - and the information that accompanies it. There are many data sources to help retailers and CPG suppliers understand a customer journey that has gotten more variable and omnichannel, but it requires the ability to gather, analyze and act on a wide range of information from a wide range of sources.

John Vincent started dee-jaying at the age of 15 at the Esquire Club in Sheffield. Forty years later John is still spinning black music vinyl; having started with rhythm and blues recordings he has encompassed all the various forms of black music playing solid Northern Soul from 1970 onwards.
Opening his own soul night in 1970 at the now legendary club Samantha's in Sheffield, John progressed the venue to such an extent that weekly all-nighters were held from 1974.
The venue accomplished much and today is still revered by many in their top ten all time venues.
At the same time John was also at the forefront of Wigan Casino from 1974-76, he steadily developed his own spot by playing a different set of sounds to other jocks, consequently he was responsible for many major monster sounds on the Northern scene. Working back to back all-nighters every weekend at Sheffield and Wigan he was the driving force behind sounds such as Lou Pride, Yum Yums, Pointer Sisters, "The Champion", Ivories and dozens more of the same ilk.
John worked all the major venues over a period of 15 years, from Samantha's to Wigan, Cleethorpes Pier/Winter Gardens, St Ives AN, Peterborough AN, Morecambe Pier AN and the first Stafford AN. John, possibly the only full-time NS jock at the time was also one of the select group of jocks that formed the Northern Soul Road Show which toured the country for many years and consequently he managed to spin northern vinyl in all the major towns of the UK.
From Dundee to Carlisle, from Newbury to Torquay the guy has spun it and declared his dedication to a lifetime of vinyl.
John Anderson, dealer extraordinaire, once said to John, "once a vinyl junkie, always a vinyl junkie."
Although having disappeared from the scene for nearly sixteen years, John reappeared on the eve of the Millennium and played to many packed clubs on a come-back mini tour.
Today, John drives his own residency at the Polish club in Sheffield and is still enthusiastically committed to the scene, still insisting that all the old values of original vinyl only are still applied.

Release Date: April 6th, 2009
Click here for the Planet Terror Trailer.
The first flick in the double feature created by acclaimed directors Quentin Tarantino(Pulp Fiction) and Robert Rodriguez(Sin City) falls under the name Planet Terror. In the double feature, each director contributes a movie giving homage to their favorite B-list movies.
Rodriguez starts it off with Planet Terror. This movie sends a shout out to all the zombie movies out there. When Cherry(Rose McGowan, Charmed), a go-go dancer from Texas finally decides to start a new life, her plans get screwed when a mass of ravaging, man-eating zombies is let loose from a military base in Texas. When an attack leaves her beaten and missing a leg, her old flame Wray(Freddy Rodriguez, Six Feet Under)shows up. Together they team up with the local sherrif's department and some locals not affected by the virus to take down this zombie plague.
This movie is anything short of celebrities. It stars, among the forementioned cast, actors such as Josh Brolin, Naveen Andrews(Lost), Quentin Tarantino, and the ever popular Bruce Willis. Another aspect this movie has is gore. If there is anything we know about a Robert Rodriguez film its that its going to be filled to the brim with over-the-top violence and gore and Planet Terror is no different. Around every turn someone is getting shot, stabbed, eaten, or blown up and an explosion of blood follows right after.
The acting and the writing in this movie is, shall we say, cheesey. But, that is the entire point. Since it is a tribute to B-list movies all the corny dialogue you would expect from them is in Planet Terror. Overall the movie was good. It was nice to see A-list celebrities play in a not-so-elaborate movie and have a little fun as aposed to their oscar winning serious movies. In the end, Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror gets 7.5 One-legged Go-Go dancers out of 10.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Wii - Hacking' started by ZenZero, May 7, 2008.
is there any way run iso's or copied discs without the use of a mod chip???
ok- will there ever be a way to patch roms with trucha singer so they will un-modded
no because the games are on a copied disk they have to run via a modchip, trucha wont be able to modify the internal security checks of the dvd drive and the wii
so... unless i get my wii modded i have no chance of playing iso's???
you could try magic. aside from that, no.
the fact that everyone on this site talks about modchips and how to chip their wii shouldve been a big clue. sometimes the best things in life arent free. go get it done, it will be the best money you ever spend
I second that very easy to get thing to work
You don't like taking no for an answer, do you?
I hope not... Nintendo would got out of business in no time!
I have my xbox softmodded... I don't need to have a mod-chip to play "backup" games. I just burn and play.
The only way there will not be a softmod for the Wii is if the disc's have built in security... like the old PS1 games with the intentional bad data written to it. But even that can be forged with a properly hacked OS.
Just wait a while longer. When the Wii OS is finally dumped, someone will find a way to upload it agian. Then someone will find a way to "fake" the signature of real Wii discs, and poof, softmod!
Nope. The Wii hardware checks that the disk was pressed. To ""fake" the signature" you would need to be able to press your own disks. Not just burn them.

Cameron Diaz: Factfile and Net Worth
When actress Cameron Diaz is contracted for a movie role, it's going to cost the best part of $20 million for her services but such is her appeal to audiences, both male and female, that any movie she appears in is almost guaranteed financial success.
From the Beginning
Cameron Diaz (her real name) was born in San Diego, California in 1972. Acting was not in the family, her mother being an import/export agent and her father a foreman for an oil company. Diaz grew up in the Long Beach area and attended the local Polytechnic High School at the same time as rapper Snoop Dogg.
Diaz started modelling at the age of sixteen for the Elite Agency and traveled the world for the next few years before returning to the United States. In 1984, Diaz, then a 21 year old model with no acting experience, auditioned for, and surprisingly got, the lead female role in "The Mask" opposite Jim Carrey. It was only after she landed the part that Diaz enrolled for acting classes and the movie went on to be a worldwide success.
Hit After Hit
Not only did "The Mask" turn Cameron Diaz into an international sex symbol but also one of the most in-demand actresses of the time and well on the way to making her $120 million fortune as she went on to star in numerous box-office smashes.
1994 The Mask $345 million
1997 My Best Friend's Wedding $300 million
1998 There's Something About Mary $370 million
2000 Charlie's Angels $270 million
2002 Gangs of New York $195 million
2004 Shrek 2 $920 million
For the second of the Charley's Angels' series, "Charley's Angels: Full Throttle", Diaz was paid $20 million for reprizing her role becoming only the third actress ever to earn this amount and adding considerably to her growing fortune.
Up to 2015, box-office takings in the United States for Diaz's movies had passed the $3 billion mark and worldwide the total is over $7 billion confirming the actress's popularity as well as her talent.
Having now appeared in over forty movies, including voicing Princess Fiona in the Shrek series, Cameron Diaz has been recognized for her work with four Golden Globe Award nominations and won the Film Critics Best Lead Actress Award for "There's Something About Mary" and in 2009 her star was added to the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Cameron Diaz, despite marrying in 2015, shows no signs of slowing down and more highly-paid movie roles are in the pipeline which will add considerably to her $120 million fortune.

FSA rollover to retirement plan proposal introducedReprints
Employees would be allowed to transfer unused amounts of up to $250 a year from their flexible spending accounts to retirement plans, such as 401(k) plans, under legislation introduced in the House of Representatives last week.
Under the measure, H.R. 4067, introduced by Rep. Ron Kind, D-Wis., employees could shift unused FSA funds — $250 or the account balance, whichever is less — to a retirement plan.
Under 2013 IRS regulations, employees can, if their employers offer such a feature, automatically carry over up to $500 in their FSA accounts to the next year to pay medical expenses.
That approach is an alternative to one the IRS authorized in 2005. Under that so-called "grace period" approach, FSA participants can roll over their full unused balance remaining at the end of a plan year. However, the balance must be used by the end of the first 2 1/2 months of the following plan year or be forfeited.

Whether it's a business trip, a last minute escape or a longed-for family holiday, what is the best way to ensure it is everything you expect it to be, with no avoidable surprises? There is no secret recipe – the answer is simply – 'be prepared'.
Safety First
Social networks are the best way to get in touch with the real situation. Google and TripAdvisor are good sources of recent reviews, and look to the country's tourist board for official information. While abroad, it matters to register with your Embassy if you suspect there could be trouble.
Know the local emergency number before you need it. Know where the local hospitals are for lesser emergencies. Writing them down and keeping in your wallet could safe massive stress in a country where the language differs from your own. Hepatitis A and B, malaria, and typhoid fever are among the worst preventable diseases with vaccination or pre-holiday medication.
Whatever the Weather
Check the weather reports a few days before you depart. At the planning stage, the average temperatures for the month, which can be found online, will give an indication of tendencies. You can plan your itinerary and packing appropriately.
Perfect Packing
Great packing involves great imagination. Not too much and not too little – all the basics plus accessories. A lot depends where you choose to stay. Do you need your own towels? Waterproof sunscreen? Useful items to pack are Ziploc bags, duct tape, extra memory cards, a Swiss army knife, antibacterial wipes, copies of your medicine and glasses prescriptions, insect repellent, antacid tablets, 24-hour non-drowsy cold and flu medicine, and Band-Aids. An extra shoulder bag is also useful. Make sure your medication and valuables are with you.
Travel Insurance
Do not forget travel insurance for you and your family, covering healthcare (especially if travelling to the USA) and any expensive 'extras' such as camera gear. Be aware that policies will differ in their coverage of weather disasters, terrorism and pre-existing medical conditions.
Enter Here
It is essential to check whether you need a visa for your destination – and check that your passport is still valid. Many countries now require three to six months' validity. Passports can have a processing time of six weeks or more. Make photocopies of your passport and visas and store them separately from your documents.
Leave a Trail
Let your friends and family know where you are staying, going and when you are travelling… and let them know when you arrive.
Counting the Pennies
It is possible to estimate your budget by factoring how long you are staying, how many people you are paying for and how many stars are after the word 'hotel'. It also pays to cast a glance at Currency Converter and tighten the belt a bit. Make sure you can use your cash card at your destination – is it an international card? Call ahead to your credit card holder and let them know you will be abroad to avoid the dreaded 'no transaction'.
Time is on your Side
No one is going to plan a ski holiday in summer time – but there is such a thing as planning to travel to avoid sticky/rainy/hot/winter season at home. Choosing off-season travel dates mean that you can take advantage of promotions, packages and low-season hotel rates. Most importantly: don't forget to smell the coffee.

Win the Talent War Podcast
Ryan Kellogg interviews today's top business leaders to share ideas on how to Win the Talent War. Modern professionals understand that the days of employees working for the same company for decades are long gone, making it essential to retain and develop top talent.
An Army Lieutenant in Iraq at the age of twenty-one, Kellogg experienced his first difficulties in leadership. A turning point occurred when a fellow officer advised Kellogg to lead with his heart instead of his rank. Kellogg quickly realized the importance of leading by first earning respect.
After the military, as a middle manager for a Fortune 500 company, Kellogg grew frustrated with repeated instances of training and cultivating talent, only to have employees leave for work elsewhere. Time that should have been spent focused on the business was instead used with recruiters and sifting through résumés. The situation left Kellogg with cynicism and self-doubt.
Kellogg obtained his MBA from Fordham University and decided that instead of complaining, he'd reflect on the advice he'd received in the military, take action to improve the corporate culture, and use tactics to develop and retain the talent necessary for professional growth.
The Win the Talent War podcast aims to provide the most value possible by interviewing today's top business leaders, entrepreneurs, small business owners, and authors. Weekly episodes include tactics to overcome obstacles, grow businesses through positive corporate culture, and engage with employees.
Podcast episodes, blogs, show notes, and other resources are available at http://www.wotpod.com. Shows are also available on iTunes and feedback is always welcome.

Chandler O'Leary's Old Town Dock art installation means you can find every Tacoma-thing you love in one convenient location
Originally published June 2013.
You may have realized by now that many of us Post Defiants will fixate, obsess, and go on and on about our favorite things. (We've added this process to our mission and now have standardized the practice for maximum obsessive output; you're welcome!) This little piece is no exception to this rule.
I am delighted, captivated, and thrilled by Chandler O'Leary's recent public art installation in Tacoma.
A partnership with Metro Parks Tacoma and the City of Tacoma, Old Town Dock on Ruston Way has not only been restored and made accessible, it has also been accessorized in a very Tacoma way.
Chandler created 24 "droplets," small permanent circular tiles peppered around the dock that reward the explorer who discovers them with a window (or porthole) into some of our favorite surrounding Northwest aspects.
A droplet may feature a ship pulling into the Thea Foss Waterway, a young Tacoman discovering a sea shell, or a curious seal peering out of the Puget Sound.
The restored Old Town Dock celebrated its grand opening in 2013 and I recommend you get there, enjoy this public treasure, and do some droplet exploring. Find them all! (For the summer of 2015, the droplets grace the Post Defiance site background, courtesy of the artist and the City of Tacoma.)
Oh, and, off droplet topic – did you know that the charming, chicken-emblazoned, Washington-made, metal water bottles at the Tacoma Co-Op were also designed by Chandler? And that these bottles are limited to only 200? Just thought you should know.

Thoughts of a Third Grade Teacher
I need to do this for my kids this year. Thanks for sharing they will get a kick out of it.ReplyDelete
Do they use a green marker and color the cup so it should look green? I want to do this tomorrow but I was noticing in your picture the cup didn't look that green. Is it just an illusion and when you shrink them they look more green? lol :) Such a cute idea!ReplyDelete
Cute idea! BUT PLEASE BE CAREFUL the fumes are VERY toxic!!!
Well let's just say mine didn't turn out QUITE as cute as yours. How'd you get them so flat? Some look better than others, but nonetheless I think the kids will be stunned!ReplyDelete

26 May 2016
Over in the USA California police arrested two carjackers suspected of using Grindr to lure their victims.
In a press statement Police in San Bernardino said:
"Over the last two weeks deputies from the Victor Valley Sheriff Station have conducted two separate carjacking investigations. On both occasions the victim's had blindly met the suspects using the dating application "Grindr."
"The first carjacking occurred May 15, 2016, near the intersection of Muskrat Avenue and Air Expressway in the City of Adelanto. During this investigation the suspect, identified as Steven Thomas, allegedly used a firearm to steal the victim's vehicle and wallet. Thomas who had recently been paroled for possession of stolen property, was arrested by the Sheriff's Specialized Enforcement Division in the City of Desert Hot Springs a few days after the incident.
"The second carjacking occurred May 23, 2016, near Yates Rd and Ridgecrest Rd in Victorville.The suspect, identified as Allan Soto, allegedly stole the victim's vehicle using force. Soto was located a few hours later and arrested with the assistance of the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Departments Aviation Division. Both victims' vehicles were recovered by deputies and returned to them."
A Grindr representative responded:
"As part of both joining the app, and on our page, we educate users on best practices around safety. It's important to have fun, but be smart and do it safely."
It is not known if Thomas and Soto were working together. The vehicles were later returned to the victims.

While I am less enthused about Christmas, bethend loves it. Her family is huge and gets together every year in a big group to eat and get a little merry. We have a real tree and decorates everything, buys one or two new decorations every year. This year we have two trees – one my nephew grew himself as part of a youth outreach project. It's about a foot and a half high and sitting in a vase. Our big tree is currently being held upright by a piece of string on a hook.
Such is our house.
For Christmas Bethend has been sewing like crazy all December. We both have stockings, she made mine the second Christmas we spent together, her own she knitted – was one of the first things she made when she came to Wales. Snappy doesn't have a stocking, nor does my friend Mel who's spending the holiday with us. So that's two she's made.
As well as two regular size stockings, she's also making an advent calendar for Snappy. She's making a tiny stocking for every day, with different decorations. She also made an ornament out of a tin that a hat given to Snappy was in. It's very cool, and if you weren't in the Christmas spirit before coming into our house you will be when you leave. We've been listening to a Christmas music playlist and watching films. She's bloody amazing, as she's also looking after me, the baby and the house at the same time. In the meantime I've been wrapping my presents with electrical tape because we ran out of selotape.
Here are some of what she's made this month:
Merry Christmas
We hope you all have a good weekend, whether you celebrate Christmas or not. Whether you're with family or not.

Thanks to good weather, high prices, and lots of hard work, you've earned a little extra over the last year. But what should you do with it? It's a good problem to have, and an important question to ask.
"Last year had its own set of challenges with unique weather and a harvest that seemed to go on and on, but for most farm businesses the bottom line will be very good," says Greg Malyk, ATB's Agri-Industry Manager for Northern Alberta. "Farmers typically tighten the belt when times are tough, but when they have a good year, they are typically very good at getting their business current and then re-investing in the business by upgrading equipment or acquiring that piece of land they have been looking at for years."
To make the most of your revenues, consider these three financial options:
If you'd like an expert opinion, don't hesitate to talk to your banking relationship manager.
As Malyk explains, "Relationship managers can help farm operators analyze the cost savings or rate of return associated with either paying down debt, building up their working capital, or reinvesting in their business so that they can prioritize and make good choices between these options."

Chicago Burger Bible continues to dominate the Chicago burger-review scene, recently clocking our 90th review! Congrats to Logan Square's Owen & Engine for becoming the eighth burger to earn the prestigious "Tier 1 - Elite" ranking (full review below).
Also, be sure to download the ChicagoBurgerBible App to locate the city's best burgers on-the-go. The free app uses GPS technology to help you find great eats no matter where in Chicago you find yourself. Download it for free on your iPad or iPhone. (Thanks to Great Time Apps!)
Owen & Engine Review:
Thanks to suggestions from our ChicagoBurgerBible.com followers (keep them coming!), we visited Owen & Engine in Logan Square to feast on their reputable burger. The price was a little steep at $14, but it proved well worth it as Owen & Engine became just the ninth restaurant to earn our "Tier 1 - Elite" status (although Small Bar has since fallen out of the big leagues). As our server described it, Owen & Engine's burger is the antithesis of neighboring burger maximalists Kuma's. O&E sticks to a basic burger blueprint. The short rib and chuck (ground in-house) patty yields such a rich, meaty flavor needing nothing more than a little salt and pepper. The burger drips to the point that the plate becomes a pool of juice, which sometimes would be a knock against a burger, but in this case we accept it as just coming with the territory. In fact, we're not sure what prevented us from drinking the burger juice straight off the plates. The burger comes with delicious caramelized onions, and you can add a terrific sharp cheddar, fried egg and lean bacon, each for an upcharge. We highly recommend springing for the cheese and the bacon. This bad boy is enclosed in a potato "bap," which is somehow very moist and airy, but also perfectly toasted, adding some needed contrast to the texture of the sandwich without introducing too much flavor.
The "chips" that come with the burger (somewhat misleading -- just french fries) are worth a mention -- they come highly recommend by us -- as is the vinegar aioli sauce (great with the fries and also on the burger).
The burger is one of many tempting meaty options at this old-fashioned, homey gastropub. They offer great house cocktails, a wide selection of quality beers, and many delicious appetizers, entrees, and deserts on a menu capable of pleasing just about anybody.
2700 N. Western Ave - Logan Square
Tier 1 - Elite
$14 (On Tuesdays, the burger is offered with a featured beer (selected by the bartender from a myriad of options) and a shot of bourbon for $15).

During the sermon, children join a member of our staff who leads them in a Bible story activity that covers the same lesson that is being shared with the adults. This allows parents to make the choice to either put their children in the nursery during worship, where they will also have time in God's Word, or for children to join their parents in church for the rest of the service. https://vbspro.events/p/events/4eec18

I have this weird thing going on where I just can't sit there & NOT have a crochet blanket on the go. I don't know why, it's not like I need another blanket as I have a trunk full of them!
And you have to admit, that ball of wool looks kind of fun right!? So I went and bought some & started hooking a blanket. Of course after about three attempts of crochet, undo, crochet undo, crochet, I finally decide upon a rectangular type of blanket.
The yarn is soft & squishy and it's only acrylic but hey, I couldn't resit the colours!
I'll let you know how it progresses, I think I'll crochet it up to a single bed size for either Joe or maybe baby Laney when she moves to a bed.
psst... it's not my only blanket on the go, I have another 3 stashed in the cupboard but apparently they aren't 'flavour of the month' with me!

Bacterial isolates in severely malnourished children at Kenyatta National Hospital, Nairobi
Document Type
Paediatrics and Child Health (East Africa)
Objectives: To identify bacterial isolates and determine antibiotic sensitivity pattern in children with severe Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM) presenting at the Paediatric Filter Clinic (PFC) of Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH).
Design: Hospital based cross-sectional survey.
Setting: Paediatric Filter Clinic of Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), a tertiary level teaching institution for the University of Nairobi, Kenya.
Subjects: Children between two and sixty months presenting at the hospital outpatient filter clinic with severe malnutrition.
Results: Ninety-one children, forty six female and forty five males, were recruited for the study. Of these, sixty had Marasmus, twenty Kwashiorkor and eleven Marasmic-kwashiorkor. HIV serology was positive in 43% of study subjects. There were 30 bacterial isolates from 26 subjects. Ten bacterial isolates were gram positive and twenty gram negative. Isolation rates did not vary by HIV serological status. Twenty one out of the 30 isolates were from blood culture. About 1/3 of the gram positive isolates were coagulase negative staphylococci, largely resistant to commonly used antibiotics such as Erythromycin, Ampicillin, Cotrimoxazole, Chloramphenicol and even Oxacillin. More than half demonstrated resistance to commonly used oral antibiotics while 80% of all gram positive and negative isolates were sensitive to Ciprofloxacin. Aminoglycosides, Gentamicin and Amikacin, and third generation Cephalosporins, Ceftriaxone and Ceftazidime, were found to be effective against most gram-negative isolates.
Conclusion: Nearly a third (28.9%) of children admitted with severe malnutrition at KNH have concomitant severe bacterial infections; primarily manifesting as bacteraemia. Gram-negative agents are responsible for most severe bacterial infections in children admitted at the KNH, regardless of their HIV serological status. Whenever possible, blood culture should be included in the initial septic screening of severely malnourished children at KNH. In the absence of culture and sensitivity information, ciprofloxacin should be considered among the first line options in the empirical treatment of severe bacterial infections among these children. Clinical trials to further evaluate in-vivo effectiveness of various single or combination antibiotics are recommended.

Ecology Building Society UK Mortgage Lender
Following a Green Party conference, the Ecology Building Society was established in 1981 at Cross Hills in West Yorkshire. The society specialises in properties that offer ecological benefits in their method of construction, type of land usage and how they are inhabited. Its aims include support for sustainable communities, efficient use of energy (including sources of renewable energy), use of local building technologies, sensitive refurbishment and general encouragement of green lifestyles. It is the 57th largest building society in the UK.
The Ecology Building Societys office is now located at Silsden, near Keighley, West Yorkshire.
Mortgage Products
Standard Variable Rate Mortgage: a variable rate mortgage where monthly repayments go up and down in line with the lenders base rate.
Mortgage discounts are offered to savers who have had at least £500 in an Ecology Building Society savings account for more than two years, or for funding of energy conservation measures or renewable energy use, or for borrowers who have had an Ecology Building Society mortgage for more than two years.
This building society offers one of the most extensive ranges of financial products for those keen to be ecologically aware. Many of the products offer very favourable discounts if the property meets certain criteria. Furthermore, the Ecology Building Society will also lend on a lot of other ecological interests such as small woodlands and agricultural land. They also have options such as interest only mortgages for those who have already retired and a range of commercial mortgages.
